Uh oh, you said you believe the TV.  Rabid right wingers will have a
field day with that one.  To them the 'mainstream media' (with the
exception of Pat O'Reilly on Fox News) is entirely controlled by a few
Jewish Democrats.  They'll never tell us who those few Jewish Democrats
are, but they are convinced they're there.

What can be added to your statement is that in every single election in
any country the margin of error is caused by things like confusing
ballots that are combined with less than educated voters, heavyweight
bureaucracy that makes it easier for people to be disenfranchised, bad
counting (bad counting most of all), and yes, bigotry.  What makes this
case unique is only that the margin of error was greater than the margin
of victory.  That's all that really happened.


In any case, that chapter of the book (so to speak) is over now.  Now
John Ashcroft is having his balls grilled by the senate committee.  It's
sortof comical, especially when Democrat senator Ed Kennedy asks a
question.  I say asks a question, in Kennedy's case it's more like makes
an accusation.  Kennedy sais something like "you did this".  Ashcroft
replies.  "Did Not".  Kennedy: "did too".  Ashcroft: "did not".  And so
on and so forth. :-)
